Richard Barbieri - Things Buried

"Light On Glass"

Doing a deeper dive into the other artists that made up Porcupine Tree. It really wasn't "ALL" Steven Wilson's band.

Nice. I love Porcupine Tree! I want that trippy guitar of his in the worst way. Thx for the link.

Alice in Chains - Dirt
Babymetal self titled
AC/DC - Dirty Deeds

Fugazi - Repeater

My old ass recently decided I like country fkn music...

LOVE me some Dirt... Down in a hole is an all time fave.

That said... Jar of Flies is the unequivocal sh*t. Just... wow. Listened to that album a lot while I was deployed in 1999.

Junkhead's a great track too. Though there ate several throughout

Digging through my stash, I discovered my Jar of Flies has disappeared. Guess I know one thing Santa's getting himself for Xmas

The Hives - Veni Vidi Vicious

Alice in Chains... Jar of Flies

Had to.

What I see is unreal
I've written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I'm crawling back to start...

The boat's steaming in
I watch the side wheel spin and I
Think about her when I hear that whistle blow
I can't change my mind
I knew all the time that she'd go
But that's a choice I made long ago

Not PT but is PT...




I've described his guitar as David Gilmour but with more passion. Tune in @ 3:51 for that amazing solo!

GnR - Lies
Deep Purple - Made in Japan
Metallica - Kill 'em All

MOODY BLUES - Threshold of a Dream.
HUDSON FORD - Free Spirit
JAMES MONTGOMERY BAND - First time out.

Richard Barbieri - Planets + Persona

"New Found Land"

PT was that band that only a tight circle knew. It's a shame too. With almost 40 albums to their credit it was done with top notch musicians. I was lucky enough to have seen PT live in Detroit. I've seen Steven Wilson solo as well. It's good but I liken it to a knockout blow is delivered with a tight fist not a single finger. Sure, the masses will lump PT in as a Pink Floyd wanna be band but all it takes is a simple pass of 7 albums to understand that there is so much more to them and it's really a smear to say it. The ultimate crime is that their music is still not recognizable on airwaves of radio today. I can say that about a lot of bands, Frank Zappa. Fishbone, Bright Light Social Hour....yada yada yada those were the right there without thinking hard...and PT. That said a lot has been written and said about this being Steven's band. Every band has to have a leader and without doubt he's got a level sophistication to be able to play every instrument in the room and use recording software and recording devices to form it into solid work. Those don't come down the pike much. That said Richard Barbieri's role as keyboardist for PT shows that he's much more than jut a bit musician. He too can play multiple instruments and is deftly aware on how to record a finished product. What lead me to scratch his work was an emptiness of not having new PT material. The band is dissolved with Steven saying there no need to revisit or go back to what was. I hope for his wallet's sake and his new bride that he grasps the magnitude reforming PT and creating new music would do for the coffers. Richard is no slouch. He's very accomplished and tracks like this showcase layering abilities with the bass and sax that sound like it could be an original soundtrack for a movie or crime show. I'm liking where this journey is going by breathing new life into the snail trails that formed one of the best bands you never hear unless you're shown it.

Foghat - Night Shift

Probably haven’t played this since the late ‘70s (...played the chit out of “Foghat Live” though...).
